The Intercontinental Derby (Turkish: Kıtalararası Derbi) is any football[Note 2] match between rivals Fenerbahçe SK and Galatasaray SK.[9][10][11][12] The fixture is widely regarded as the biggest football match in Turkey, and one of the biggest matches in international football[13] because of the success both clubs have had in Turkish football, the intensity of the matches, and the immense rivalry between the two teams.[8][6] The fixture has been in existence for more than a century and has developed into one of the greatest, most intense and often bitter derbies in the world, traditionally attracting very large attendances and nearly equal support for both teams throughout the country.[14] The derby is known as "intercontinental" because Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are two of the major Turkish teams from the Asian and the European parts of Istanbul respectively.
